"Oplatky, or Christmas Wafers are available at the parish office. Please call or stop by if you would like to purchase some.

HOW TO CELEBRATE THE OPLATKY TRADITION:
The Oplatky are enjoyed by families, typically right before the Christmas Eve meal. The entire family will gather around the table with the Oplatek. Generally the eldest member of the family will begin the ritual by breaking off a piece of the wafer and passing it to another family member with a blessing. This blessing can simply consist of what you desire for your loved one in the upcoming year – whether it be good health, success, or happiness. The purpose of this act is primarily to express ones unconditional love and forgiveness for each member of his or her family.
The significance of the Oplatky Christmas wafer is in that it shadows the Eucharistic meal that Catholics participate in at each Mass..."
